Rapper Will.i.am has scored his 10th UK number one single, as It’s My Birthday tops the official chart.<\/p>\n

The song, featuring 17-year-old singer Cody Wise, follows hits such as Scream and Shout, This Is Love and I Gotta Feeling, with his band Black Eyed Peas.<\/p>\n

The Voice judge knocked last week’s number one, Ariana Grande’s Problem, down to number two, while Ella Henderson’s Ghost fell to three.<\/p>\n

In the album chart, Ed Sheeran spent a third week in the peak position.<\/p>\n

His second album, X (pronounced multiply), held off challenges from the Manic Street Preachers and Dolly Parton to retain the crown.<\/p>\n

The record, featuring the hit single Sing, has sold more than 327,000 copies to date, according to the Official Chart Company.<\/p>\n

It is also number two in the US, having debuted at the top spot in its opening week.<\/p>\n

Further down the chart, Nicola Benedetti’s Homecoming entered at 19, to make her the first British classical violinist to crack the UK Top 20 since Vanessa Mae in 1995.<\/p>\n

The musician, who will perform at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, said: “I am absolutely thrilled to have reached the Top 20, not something a classical artist ever expects.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Other new entries in the album chart came from dance act Example, whose fifth record, Live Life Living, debuted at eight, and singer-songwriter Sia, whose critically-acclaimed 1,000 Forms of Fear made its first appearance at 11.<\/p>\n

The Australian singer has never made the top 40 in her own right before – but her profile received a boost after she co-wrote and sang David Guetta’s number one single, Titanium.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old has also achieved success as a writer, working with the likes of Rihanna (Diamonds), Britney Spears (Perfume), and Beyonce (Pretty Hurts).<\/p>\n
